OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT! Friday, February 6, 2015 CLS family and friends come and celebrate our student scholars... that's YOUR child and their many achievements.
Bring a friend or family who might be interested in Calvary and we'll give them the tour. Everyone can tour the campus, visit all the classrooms, say hi to the teachers, see your child's classroom, see what they have been studying, and enjoy some refreshments! When you arrive, please sign-in at Calvary Club. When you sign-in, one family will be eligible to win one free month of tuition (which will apply in June 2015), another student will win a free week of free dress, and another student will win a free lunch with the teacher or staff of their choice!
Make sure your child introduces you to Dr. C, as he has a free dress coupon for your child to use next week (February 13th). See You Tonight! |
RE-ENROLLMENT! Enrollment for new students is now open. Re-enrollment for returning students is ongoing. New students who enroll before February 27th can lock-in to the tuition payment plan!
New Families: To lock into the tuition discount plan, you MUST submit both your re-enrollment form and fee by Friday, February 27, 2015.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school secretary, Mrs. Nancy Schibler, at (510) 278-2598, or by e-mail at schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org |
A BIG THANK YOU to all who came out on Saturday to help spruce up our campus. You did a fantastic job and you are awesome! Now that's Team Work! THANK YOU! Remember Open House is tonight, Friday, February 6th (6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.). We will also have an additional Open House on Friday, February 20th. |
CAUTION: The Cold and Flu Season are here  Lets all do our part to keep CLS germ-free If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.
We have many mom's who are expectecting babies, and many new born siblings who come to CLS and we do not want them to get sick. Please do your part in making the right decision if you should keep your child home or send them to school.
If your child's temperature is 99.6 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature. Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.
A child must be fever free, WITHOUT any medications (Tylenol, Motrin, or Ibuprofen) in their system for 24 hours before they can return to school.
Is your child very tired? Does s/he have a dry cough (as opposed to one that's mucus-y)? Is his/her appetite decreased? Any aches or chills?
If your child shows any of these symptoms, we courage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.
Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school and if you would like to pick up any homework after school.

| Outbreak of Measles in California A measles outbreak largely linked to Disneyland has now infected over 100 people across the state.
"CDPH is urging caution to individuals who are not vaccinated, especially infants under 12 months of age."
Measles, a highly contagious viral disease wide-spread in many parts of the world, begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, followed by a cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and a rash, according to the Centesr for Disease Control and Prevention.
The rash typically appears first on the face, along the hairline and behind the ears and then affects the rest of the body. Infected people are usually contagious from about four days before their rash starts to four days afterwards.
Public health officials around the state, but particularly in Southern California, where the outbreak is the worst, have been asking parents to have their children immunized. The disease is highly transmissible by air-droplets from an infected person's cough can remain suspended in the air for up to two hours, the CDC notes, and the virus can live for just as long on services.
If you have any questions regarding measles, we encourage you to contact your local physician.
